My camera settings were all wrong, I totally overexposed the bit of time I had with this little guy. I almost deleted this image because it was not what I intended. But something drew me into this photograph, into the possibilities of it. He is a light feathery being who sits among the thorny cactus plants. Layers of intricately feathered patterns, more clearly seen when the wings are opened, each tail feather a different design. Speckles and stripes and swirling patterns of fine detail. A bundle of airy lightness. Yet he sits on prickly sharp edges of the cactus, seemingly unaware of his thorny surroundings. I shall remember him when I close my eyes to meditate.
